Support for unaccepted memory was added recently, refer commit
dcdfdd40fa82 ("mm: Add support for unaccepted memory"), whereby a virtual
machine may need to accept memory before it can be used.

Do not try to access unaccepted memory because it can cause the guest to
fail.

For /proc/kcore, which is read-only and does not support mmap, this means a
read of unaccepted memory will return zeros.
